Gopal Krishna 9"

This sculpture shows the playful nature of Krishna and his zest for life and all its pleasures. Krishna is one of the most popular Hindu gods. He stands in a relaxed position with one leg over the other playing the flute. Krishna's flute playing would beguile the cow herder's daughters who were all in love with Krishna. Krishna is a hero and central figure of Bhagavad-Gita. He loved life and lived his time on this earth to the fullest. This Krishna is a hand made, one of a kind, bronze sculpture cast by the artists of South India using the lost wax process, a skill passed on for generations since the Chola period. Krishna is covered in finely carved jewelry and clothes.
